Making an entire row on a table into a link, setting font color on A style
I have a table row that I generate with PHP that shows up as follows:
<tr ><th scope="row"><a href="showlisting.php?mess
as you can see, I repeat the link for each value. I tried encompassing the whole row in a <a href> tag but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to make the whole row clickable? I would really like the whole row including the spaces between each column to be clickable as well, because I highlight the entire row when the mouse scrolls over it. Another problem I have is I set the A attributes as follows:
<style type="text/css">
A {
text-decoration:none;
}
</style>
so that the links are not underlined. The problem is it turns each values into the column a gray color. I tried setting the font color within that tag back to black but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks!

you cannot have block level elements inside inline elements, tr's and td's are block, a is inline.
for highlighting you could do this:
<tr title="Clickable table row" onClick="window.location.h
<td>asdasdasdasd</td></tr>
for the hyperlink colours, try setting for the different states, like this:
a:link, a: visited{color: black; text-decoration: none;}
a:hover, a:active{color: blue; text-decoration: underline;}

sorry, no space between a: and visited
